Fabric Jewelry

Hoop earrings with flower embellishment

I have been working on making fabric jewelry with a mod theme.

Although I have other mod pieces, I have found that working with fabric is challenging in many ways.

Should I sew them with a machine?

Or hand sew them with needle and thread?

I have found that liquid sew/no sew adhesive is a way to make them look good with no uneven stitches.

I love to stitch but have not mastered even stitches. (I am working on it though for making a necklace.)

Geometric shaped earrings

I have found some pretty mod theme quilting fabric, in a fat quarter. Also some embellishment.

Then I let my imagination go to work with what I already had in designs.

This has been fun for me and hope to come up with more challenging designs in the near future.
